Flying from Shanghai

China’s capital is one of the most extraordinary locations on earth, and its airport is just as incredible.

Shanghai Pudong International Airport connects with 189 international destinations, and is one of the busiest in the world.

However, the Chinese dedication to customer service means that passengers flying from Shanghai with Qatar Airways will experience a warm and friendly (if slightly formal) welcome and a standard of personal service that makes the experience one to remember.

Transportation and parking

The airport is large, but fortunately the network of ground transport including buses and train connections make it easy to find your way around.

Connections to the airport from Shanghai itself are also excellent, and passengers can travel to the airport by bus, taxi or the extraordinary Maglev (magnetic levitation) train line, which is an incredible feat of technological engineering. The Metro also connects downtown Shanghai to the airport.

Be aware that many taxi drivers will not speak English, so it may be advisable to ask your hotel to book a taxi for you. Parking is reasonable, with various parking areas near the terminals for both short and long-term stays.
